![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial - Projectile Motion 3 - Erik Thompson This is the third video in this tutorial series. It continues from the last episode in which a ball was thrown horizontally off a building. In this episode we modify that 3D program so the ball is thrown at an angle from the ground.

![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial Episode 05 - Friction 1 - Erik Thompson This is the fifth video in this tutorial series. It continues from the last episode in which a ball was thrown from the ground. In this episode we modify that 3D program so the ball is a thrown puck that slides until friction slows it to a stop. Newton's three laws of motion are also discussed.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial Episode 06 - Friction 2 This is a cleaned up version of the last program and also a review of previous topics. Special emphasis is placed on using vectors and the relationship between force, accleration, velocity, and gravity vectors. New topics include the norm of a vector and the magnitude of a vector.

![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial - Projectile Motion 2 - Erik Thompson This is the second video in this tutorial series. It continues from the last episode in which a ball was dropped to the earth. We modify that 3D program so the ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building.

![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial - Projectile Motion 1 - Erik Thompson This is the first video in this tutorial series. It briefly discusses where to find information to install python and the vpython libraries. The we create a 3D program demonstrating the effect of gravity on a dropped object.

![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | VPython Video Tutorial Episode 07 - Tension In this episode we model an experiment in which a string is tied to an object on a table and to a weight hanging off the edge. The mass of the weight it increased until the book slides. Tension and friction are the key topics.
